[by@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From 8:30-9:15 or so this morning, Mary Walter and I watched a band-rumped 
storm-petrel from the Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center overlook.  Great 
looks in the scope as it flew low over the turbulent water (almost no shorebird 
habitat left).  Brainard got there in time to see it for a little before it 
floated downriver.  Several people still there looking for it, so it may show 
up again.

Quick notes:  This is a very dark bird with a white rump.  In flight, feet do 
not extend beyond the tail.  Wing pattern above and below is also helpful in 
the ID.

Good luck.
